English Premier League
MANCHESTER UNITED 2
EVERTON 0
Booed every time he touched the ball, former Blue Wayne Rooney returned to Goodison Park to help set up United's first and then score their second in a free-flowing game.
Rooney fed the ball wide for John O'Shea, whose low cross was superbly converted by Dutchman Ruud van Nistelrooy just before halftime.
Rooney killed the game a minute after the re-start when he pounced on an atrocious pass across his own penalty area by Everton defender Joseph Yobo area and steered the ball past a helpless Nigel Martyn. It was his first Goodison goal for United since last year's 27 million pounds ($49.03 million) move to Old Trafford.
